"They had Chick-fil-A so they're pretty happy," Bears coach Keith Guttin said from the team bus on Saturday en route to a practice at Wichita State's indoor facility.

The Bears' game against Bradley for the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament title was rained out. The teams will try again at 9:04 Sunday morning when the forecast is more favorable.

Guttin's veteran team rolls with the flow. They were happy to feast on McDonald's burgers and fries as Friday turned to Saturday following their late-night victory over Wichita State.

Senior Eric Cheray (@Echeray12) tweeted: "Heading to the Ship and we get McDonald's for post game meal. This day can't get much better."

Guttin said Cheray was serious.

"He was on base five times and got McDonald's," Guttin said. "He loves it. They all do."

Who's to argue? The Bears have won 15 in a row and are ranked No. 8 nationally. An NCAA Tournament bid will be made official on Monday. Missouri State likely will be named a regional host on Sunday night, a program first.

A day of rain did little to disrupt the good vibes.

"They're a veteran group and nothing much has bothered them yet," Guttin said.

The rain served to get red-hot starter Matt Hall (10-2) an extra day's rest. Guttin said Hall, 4-0 with a 0.30 earned run average his last four starts, will be available in relief after going eight innings in Wednesday's first-round win over Southern Illinois.

Andy Cheray (3-3, 5.40 earned run average) will get the start for the Bears, who swept three games from Bradley last weekend at Hammons Field.

Bradley has used just five pitchers through its three MVC Tournament games as both teams have fresh bullpens.

Elliot Ashbeck (11-4, 3.24) is set to start for the Braves, who are in the finals for the first time since 1996. Ashbeck threw eight innings in a first-round win on Wednesday over Evansville.
